Wed, 09 Feb 2011 21:50:55 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=38674#comment-110344Yes, a good point, Spudchukar. Quality Start Percentage is a decent metric to measure that. And what the hell, since you brought him up again in your other comment down below: Hughes and Ohlendorf had identical Quality Start Percentages of 52% last season. Weird. (I really don’t mean to single out Hughes and pick on him, I just think this is sort of fascinating.)

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 20:59:33 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=38674#comment-110333They should matter some. Give me a pitcher who consistently gives up 3-4 runs every outing, insuring his team of a chance to win, over a guy who is superb in one outing, marginal in the next and then implodes. Same overall ERA, OBA and WHIP but in 10 outings pitcher #1 is 7-3, while #2 is 5-5.

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 19:24:04 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=38674#comment-110294Correction: Wins as a metric for pitching performance do not matter anymore. They matter plenty as a team metric, in fact at the end of the day they are the only metric that matters for a team.

For a pitcher? No. Nor should they.

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 18:20:35 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=38674#comment-110262That one victory was against the Phillies on July 4th weekend…it was his first win in over a year and it was one day after Daniel McCutchen ALSO got his first win in over a year…against the Phillies as well. What a crappy July 4th weekend that was.

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 18:11:55 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=38674#comment-110259Check this out: Phil Hughes In 2010: 18-8, 4.19 ERA. I know you’re still smarting about CC, but it’s time to let it go.

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 17:42:59 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=38674#comment-110251That one victory was worth $600,000 to Ohlendorf. I think that at 0-12, the Pirates would win the case with their 1.4 million offer, regardless the ERA, because as ugly as 1-12 looks, a big goose egg looks even worse.

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 17:36:19 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=38674#comment-1102501-11? a few more wins and he would have been a Cy young contender

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 17:27:16 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=38674#comment-110247He can thank Kevin Millwood, along with his four wins and $12M 2010 salary for this one. Doesn’t look good for the teams on the other 11 players if a one-win guy wins his case right out of the box. Time to settle those cases guys.
